One night, Christopher Boone, who suffers from a disability such as Asperger
syndrome finds his neighbor's dog dead in her front yard, with a pitchfork sticking
out of it. Eek – we're off to an interesting start, that's for sure. Anyway, Christopher
wonders who killed it, and decides to write a book in which he tries to figure it out,
like a murder mystery novel.

With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner,
three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, Pippin
is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013
Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, this updated circus-inspired version of
Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart throughout the world.
Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true
happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations
of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father,
King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies
not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments
that happen every day.

Seussical brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant,
The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination –
Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus
to the invisible world of the Whos.
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust
containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too
many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge – not only must he protect the Whos
from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to
his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger,
kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him.
Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and
emerge triumphant. Seussical TYA is fun for the whole family! This version has been specially
adapted to a 75-minute version for high schools looking for tours and theatres with
strong educational components.

This contemporary song cycle weaves characters and history together, illuminating
the timelessness of self-discovery. It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall
and having to make a choice... or take a stand... or turn around and go back. These are
the stories and characters of today, the Songs for a New World. The first musical from
Tony Award winner, Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County), this moving
collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices that we make.
Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge,
57 stories above Fifth Avenue, to meet a startling array of characters that range from a
young man who has determined that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman
whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams... and a soulless marriage.
With a exquisitely crafted score that runs the gamut of today's popular music,
Songs for a New World is a great way to bring the next generation into the theatre.
